mountain bed Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 No celebration of America should be without a nod to America's Greatest Ever Live Rock Band - The Grateful Dead. My suggestion? Jack Straw (from Europe '72). Lyrics: Leaving Texas, 4th day of JulySun so hot, the clouds are lowThe eagles fill the sky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Lawn Dart by Ed's Redeeming Qualities It was the third of July and the weather was fineEd brought the hot dogs, the croquet set was mineBut the red ball was missing and three mallets were bentEd suggested lawn darts so to K-Mart we went We looked by the yard games, we looked by the grillsBut we couldn't find lawn darts come high water or hillsWe talked to the sales clerk and she started to cryShe said "They're off the shelves now," and she told us both why: A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dartHer dad didn't see 'er, that's the worst part;A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dartSo they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart Well we both felt so bad that we gave up the searchEd went to bed, and I went to churchAnd now we never grill hot dogs, and we don't play yard gamesSince we heard that sad story things just aren't the same Pegged in the head with a lawn dart (lawn dart!)Her dad didn't see 'er, that's the worst part;Pegged in the head with a lawn dartSo they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart.

LouieB Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 4th of July --- X Or you can go straight to the writer of the song....Dave Alvin on two albums, Romeo's Escape or King of California. This may be the best song about 4th of July ever. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye. (How could I have forgotten to mention this one?) LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
